Hart and Levi makes zero sense. Why would you bring in a guy that was/is supposed to be a phenom to compete with a guy that the organization gushes over that is supposed to be a phenom? That has to be the dumbest idea anyone ever proposed on here. Jet Jaguar MEGA BD XL is a poster on this site, so that's saying something.

A nice goalie tandem for years to come. That Ullmark/Swayman tandem seemed to work okay for Boston last year. Choked in the playoffs, but (1) Vezina, (1) all time regular season points record. But why would anyone want to copy what Boston does?

Dumb is not proposing something like this, dumb is blindly responding without rationally thinking it out. If you don't like Hart, that's fair. To call dumb an idea that the NHL, in general, is trending towards is, well.....dumb

Per Lance:

Brett Murray is a player to watch in training camp.

He received another contract from the Sabres today and can't return to Rochester without clearing waivers.

There will be plenty of interest if he doesn't make Buffalo's roster.

He’s no longer waivers-exempt. Two-way only influences how much he’s paid if he goes to the AHL.

Do you realize how small this age gap is?

They were 2 full years younger than the League Average ... with 41 yo Anderson and 34 yo Dad, which elevated their average age by 3 - 4 months. It's a pretty young team.

10/2/23- Brett Murray has cleared waivers and reassigned to Rochester.

Just wanted to show the real numbers to those who point to it as a reason they can't compete yet. NJ is close to the same age.

He’s not going to be on our roster and will have to get waived. Why even sign him? I’m hopes he clears waivers?

Interesting contract. Performance bonuses available his first two seasons, but not the 3rd.

Telling to make the NHL that 3rd year or take a hit.

Can't say I've seen it, but don't look at the ELC's that closely.

Because 200 guys like him get waived at the end of camp and clear every year.

Dumba would be a great add, would he even want to come to Buffalo?
- washedup20

No he wouldn’t. This is false

Because 200 guys like him get waived at the end of camp and clear every year.
- Lunaion

And teams generally don’t touch those players clearing waivers going to the AHL farm team


It’s an old man’s club. He will be in roch

That are 6'5" 225 with hands like him?

I think he gets claimed but we'll see. We've claimed worse players in the recent past

Murray has hands of stone. AHL wise. Sure he’s good. NHL wise hands of stone along with his horrible skating.

I think it's unlikely and I don't really care if he does. They'd probably get a chance to reclaim him soon after.

No okposos and girgensons are better than Murray. Without a doubt

(And I hate okposos with a passion)

Thoughts if we add another “real” defensemen but keep goalies as is?
We need the Dman, but I’m still not stoked about not having a veteran guy in goal on a 1 year deal. Not a washed up bum, but a decent guy to help with Levi’s transition
- lulags

I don’t hate the idea of Dumba but I don’t love it but I couldn’t guess what the good god damn KA is doing with the goalie and defense log-jams

- Sabretooth9

Disagree with the hands assesmment. I think a guy with his size who put up 23 goals in the AHL would get a look somewhere. In any case, I hope he does. I want him to get a look in the NHL

Will say that a 1 year deal makes it more likely. They didn't do anything with the deal to protect themselves from it.

Also Rochester has like 17 forwards.

It’s becoming laughable.

Yeah I was thinking about this as well. A 2-year, 2-way deal for $850 at the NHL level probably guarantees that no one takes him.

They look reeeeaaaally good on paper. If I lived in Roch this would be the year I'd want season tickets

Probably move the team there be Jacksonville Jack Rabbits
